Last time we explored 5 ways to create a zen meditation room. Here are the remaining five:

Avoid Stuffy and Crowded Rooms

You can never be able to manage meditation in a crowded room with limited space
and ventilation. While you endeavor to make a Zen meditation room in your home you should do so while getting rid of any furniture or items that might distract you when meditating. Meditation requires calmness, ease, and focus on what you do during that special moment between you and the high powers. It is a moment to treasure and therefore your meditation room should have items such as a cushion, yoga mat and a sizable pillow to use during a yoga session.

Bring in Relaxing Aroma Into Your Room

Infiltrate the space in your room with a nice aroma using peppermint or oils that have meditative smells to help sooth you. You also have the freedom to light candles and watch them burn down slowly as you look at the flame which has powers to take away your mind. You can choose to burn sweet smelling incense that will fill the room and make you meditate more. This is called Aromatherapy.

Choose a Room with Good Lighting

You can either decide to use the natural light and in this case you would have to open your windows and curtains if any so that you let in more light. If you cannot get plenty of natural light then you will have to choose the best lighting for you. If you prefer bright light you can have that but if you don’t then go for dim light. It is wise to install lights that dim at your own pleasure so you can choose to set whatever mood you want like Art of Living says.

Choose Your Favorite and Coolest Room or Place

You need a quiet room with no distraction by people walking inside and distracting your meditation session. Meditation works only when there is calmness and pin drop silence. If it turns out difficult to get a quiet room you can choose a quiet place in your garden where you can freely interact with nature and appreciate what it offers.

Associate Your Meditation Room with Sacredness

Your meditation room is a special place in your home and you should treat it in a manner deemed special. Your family or people you live with should know the importance of your sacred room and they should only visit it when they need to be alone meditating and self searching.

Breaking away from the normal life full of activities and engaging in meditation is one sure way anyone can relax and just think of themselves in a quiet Zen meditation room. Meditation is good for personal growth and development. By meditating you help refresh your brain. A complete and successful meditation requires a room with conducive surrounding which must be created by following certain key instructions and requirements. The following are ten (10) best tips to help you create a Zen meditation room in your home.

No Tech devices

A Zen meditation room should not have any technology devices such as phones or iPads for one main reason which is to avoid any form of distraction like picking a phone call or responding to a call. This is one way to help you meditate and take your time in relaxing and refreshing your brain. As you set up a room for meditation, there should be no installation of any form tech device.

Choose an Easy Color

A typical Zen Meditation room should be painted using a color that suits you and it should be a color that works well with you. Meditation rooms should be painted with your most preferable color that will make you feel free and relaxed while meditating. The environment in your meditation room must be serene and should match with your mood when meditating.

Incorporate the Calmness of Nature Into Your Room

What is meditation according to many people? While it can mean deep thinking and self searching, most people believe that meditation is actually relaxing in nature and bonding with it in calm and easy to manner. You can bring nature into your home meditation room by having a plant at the foreground of your room facing wide transparent walls that can allow you see the environment within and outside your room. A water fountain also has the power to help you appreciate nature so you can meditate in the process.

Cool Music

For peace and tranquility to exist within you and your meditation room you will need to play your favorite slow music. Music is food to the soul and it is important to only allow a music device as the only electronic in your meditation room.

Add Something That Touches Your Feelings

When setting up a Zen meditation room in your home it is important to add things that you believe touch you the most. You can decide to have a sizeable Buddha statute inside your meditation room or maybe a carving that you feel attached to.

Being One

Hi guys! Today a return reading client emailed me a question that I think many might have, so here is a paraphrased version of her question and my answer. Client question: I'd like to schedule another phone reading with you. My friend also wants a reading. Do you ever read two people together on the same call? My answer:Yes I do read two people at once. I call it a shared reading and both are on the whole call, and the rates are the same as if were only reading one person. I just need to know the first and last name of both people in advance so I can prepare. I only read three at once in one case with a mom and her two young boys. Most often when I read two at once it's a couple's reading where the husband and wife are both on the entire call. Also often it's with a mom I've already read a bunch, and one of her children that wants to participate for the first part of the call so in that case it's a mom & child reading or a special shared reading where...

I was surfing the internet and found a video of Dainel Sturrige and of course since I'm a psychic reader, I thought it'd be cool to read his energy in a blog post. He is a pro footballer (in the US we'd say soccer player) for the Premier League club Liverpool and the England national team. Though I haven't played soccer since I was a little girl in camp, I enjoyed reading his energy as he played. At around the age of 6 or 7, I had a crush on a kid named Micah who could get the ball past me just as easily as Daniel Sturrige gets the ball past the other pro players. Watching the video I noticed Daniel is super super grounded, so much so that to watch his energy it's like the earth just has this fast moving bump of earth energy that ripples around the soccer field wherever he is standing. His first chakra and first layer have so much of his energy he seems fearless and he's so rooted like the old kids' toy a weeble, he doesn't seem to loose his balance much. Then he really uses...

Energy question: Can’t I tune out when I’m at work? I hate my job / boss / coworkers! This is a question I often get in readings, when a client’s angels point out they are not present at work.They just “go through the motions” and work while their spirit is above their body or even a little of their spirit is back home in bed, or in the future anticipating their weekend. This is NOT actually an effective stress reducing plan, and definitely NOT a way to create positive change. When your spirit is away your body misses your energy and sponges up what is around, so energy from your coworkers or workplace. So then your body carries around so much workplace energy that you think of your work the minute you wake up each morning, and you can’t seem to manifest something new and different. If you leave your job while still full of judgement and resentment and resistance, you may end up in a new job with many of the same patterns. In order to manifest something more positive and new, often you need to transcend your judgement and resistance, to...

So I've been a full time personal growth psychic reader and energy healer professionally since late 2001, so about 15 years. I have always done phone sessions, and did in-person up through early 2012 but now only phone. I know how I like working, my focus on personal growth, etc. If I'm new to you that's explained on my Specialty and Make a List pages. It's not often I start doing something totally new. In past years I have dabbled in working with people when they are not present on a call with me, and I think now I've found the conditions under which I particularly like it. I call them no-call healings, since otherwise I always work with the person on a phone call with me. I think a more industry-standard word would be remote healing though I want to specify that I can do remote healing on any phone reading call, and these new no-call healing sessions are both remote and without a phone call. I only do it for return clients I've worked with a while, so let's say a minimum of five sessions by phone over time. ...

So is it OK to have people you admire, or are there situations where that is unhealthy? Yes and YES. This blog post will explain the energy of all that, when admiration is unhealthy and how to keep it healthy and empowering. It's sort of a light wandering ramble, so I hope you enjoy the journey. If you are in the mood for short & to the point, this post is not it. It was inspired by a wonderful client Pooja who commented on my Daniel Sturrige blog post. Pooja asked:Hi Janet, I have a bit of a weird question. Is there a way of adopting someone's energy... in a positive way. Like if you admire someone's social skills but know you are lacking and you try to emulate that person. Or from this sports example, if you can imbibe some of Sturrige's energy? Can some energy work help here? Or is that not something that is right or even done?My reply is:The healthy version of this, to be inspired by someone, can be done if you have a very healthy and flowing 4th chakra. Here is my video playlist about healing your 4th...

Hi guys! Not being able to sleep or get back to sleep or sleep well is a big deal. In these psychic sleep clinic blog posts I will read various reading clients who post about their sleep issues. I can read a non-client too but they'd have to email me their first and last name since that really helps me to read someone. Here's Case #1, a fabulous client w/the nickname Kimmy. If you have sleep issues too or just want to sleep better I suggest you practice the tips here. You can practice sometime when you don't have to sleep to see if you can make yourself feel sleepy. That way you will have the techniques ready if you need them. If you can't sleep right now, first try the tips here without referring to my videos or pinterest page. This is because the less you're on the computer the better if you are trying to sleep. If that doesn't work then go ahead and try the videos.Kimmy says:Hi Janet- I am having trouble sleeping through the night the past week. I tend to wake up for a few...

Hey guys! So in the psychic readings I do I often get questions about life purpose. Then I did just get an email from a client having doubts about if she is fulfilling her purpose, or if she is failing. Also just the other day shifting perceptions of life goals or life purpose came up with another client I read. The nutshell angel answer is: Life is a journey, not an exam. You can't fail a journey. BTW the rest of the post is not a nutshell. :-) The point of a journey is to experience it, to learn from it, and to grow or evolve. Basically the more I talk directly to angels the more I hear that angels have trouble communicating to people at times because the messages get lost in translation. For example, say someone decides they want to do what they love for a living. They are sure that xyz is their life purpose, and they set out to make it happen. Years later, is it wrong for them to re-examine that purpose if they have not reached their chosen goal? Of...

This is a question posted by a client onto my YouTube grounding walkthrough video called Psychic Healing Grounding Meditation- Part 1. I posted a short reply to her there on youtube. Since it’s such a frequently asked question, I thought I’d answer it more fully here in the hopes that more people see it. Here’s her question:Hi Janet. Is it ok/safe to do grounding or healing chakras/aura in public (eg. on the bus/plane or somewhere else where there are other people around you)? Many thanks :-)﻿My reply:Yes it can be safe, useful, and practical to do some level of grounding and self-healing in public, though there are a few tips to consider. By “in public” I mean anywhere not inside your own home, so in your car, at work, in a coffee shop, on the train, walking downtown, in a gym, in a workplace, etc. Energy Safety tips when working your energy- meditating, grounding, or healing your chakras & aura in public:1. With your mind ask your angels to help you to be fully safe on all levels as you work your energy. 2. While in public, do energy work that helps...

Hey folks! Today I want to share something I’ve done for about a year now that was originally suggested to a few clients by their angels in readings, then of course my angels told me to do it too. They said to have a cup of miso soup first thing every morning throughout the fall and winter, and to meditate while having it. They called it “miso & meditation.” I got so used to doing it I only skipped miso soup a little in the summer, and instead had herbal tea with my morning meditation. So maybe it will work for you too, or maybe the other ideas will just get you thinking about what healthy and comforting rituals you could fit into your daily routine. Just FYI, I am a professional psychic reader and energy healer, NOT licensed or expert at all in Chinese medicine. I wrote a disclaimer paragraph at the bottom of this blog post, with a little extra info about Chinese medicine and how cool it is. :-) So anyway, I just put a half a spoon of miso soup paste into a cup, first add some...

So what are the best personal growth New Year’s Resolutions? The best or most effective New Year’s Resolutions are realistic and paired with non-judgement and a little creativity so you can regroup if and when your determination fades. Late December and all of January and even February to a lesser extent have a group optimism about personal growth and change which can be uplifting and make it easier for someone to get motivated to change. I discuss how to be realistic with your goals and resolutions further down in this post. Whether you like New Year’s Resolutions, or prefer just to make personal growth goals and not attach them to a specific year, having growth goals can be very helpful. My Make a List page lists sample personal growth goals you might like. Personally I just do ongoing personal growth goals, but I do really like feeling the mass optimism pro-change energy that comes with New Year’s and January each year.Is your New Year’s Resolution to meditate every day, or more often? Meditation is one way to give yourself your own motivation and momentum. If you wanted to get yourself comfortable with...
